Enter, RTX 4090 with blower-type cooler. This card has a very interesting story because it is not available to just any customer. A Redditor whose field of expertise is machine learning was asked by a vendor if he would be willing to buy a custom card made in a small number, an RTX 4090 with blower-type cooler. Now, rumors about such designs are as old as the card itself, but we have not actually seen any of these cards in action yet.

Wonder how those card would perform in a gaming scenario?

From reading the article, it sounds like it would perform just like an average 4090 in gaming.

Yes but for some reason i think it would throttle really bad if someone ran a d15 with a 13700k/13900k in a small case.

How it "Could" perform and how it "Actually" performs are two different things. If a person opts for this style card and doesn't have the cooling capacity/knowledge then it's not the fault of the card.

Also let's just talk about the fact gamers should not be buying this kind of card. This blower style is definitely for server/machine learning use cases where they are trying to exhaust any hot air and not necessarily caring about the noise profile of the cooler.

True but at the same time a psu is rated to run at 50c.  Those damn blower card are just failure if everything running ways too hot for reliability in a hot case. Probably why nvidia did not allow blower design.

 

Server would work for sure with the insane airflow in most newer system.

Blower style is certainly great for a Folding machine.

Looks like the kind of thing you see in a Dell PC, they put coolers like this on GPUs.

4090s do have their uses in workstations and productivity as well, but for serious gaming and with oc, I wouldn't even want to think about a blower-cooled model...certainly not with a custom vbios that pulls between 650 W and 700 W (some go to 1 kW), rather than the lower-tier 450 W max. Even then, the noise must be deafening. With extensive water-cooling, temps can be controlled easily enough, but a single blower is best for the workstation crowd, preferably with the system in a separate, air-conditioned room.
